Brooklyn Community District 4 (Bushwick) recorded 96 arm's-length deed transfers in Q1 2026 totaling $82.4 million in disclosed consideration, with a median deal size of $1.33M. The asset-class mix skewed heavily toward small-format multifamily: 28 two-family converted (B2) buildings and 20 four-to-six-unit walkups (C0 and C2) together accounted for 50% of all Q1 transfers in the district.
Source: NYC ACRIS daily feed joined to NYC DCP PLUTO for community district mapping. Filter: cd = 304 (NYC encoding for Brooklyn CD 4) AND doc_type = "DEED" AND recorded_date in [2026-01-01, 2026-04-01).
How we got the cohort
NYC tracks property by Borough-Block-Lot. Bushwick is a neighborhood — not a record-keeping geography — and PLUTO doesn't currently expose ZIP-code data on residential parcels. The cleanest filter is the city's own community-district encoding: Brooklyn CD 4 (district code 304 in PLUTO and ACRIS-joined feeds) covers Bushwick proper plus the eastern edge of Williamsburg. Of the 130 ACRIS recordings in cd=304 during Q1 2026, 96 were strict DEED-type transfers; the remaining 34 are DEEDO (deed of other), DEED IN LIEU, and ancillary recordings excluded from this analysis to match the qualifying-deed methodology used in MetroDeeds' Manhattan monthly report. Disclosed-consideration totals are computed only across the 62 of 96 transfers carrying a non-nominal doc_amount; nominal-consideration deeds (intra-family transfers, LLC restructurings) are excluded from the volume math but counted in the deal count.
The largest deals of Q1
- 1369 Broadway → United States Postal Service ($6.47M, February 3). The largest Q1 Bushwick deal was a Z3-class mixed-use building sold to USPS by Broadway Gold LLC. Government-buyer transactions of this size are unusual in Bushwick's transaction record; the building is now in federal ownership.
- 81 Stockholm Street → Stockholm St Prop LLC ($4.10M, March 20). An eight-unit C1 walkup acquired by a single-purpose LLC from 81 Stockholm Group LLC — the largest private-side deal of the quarter. Both seller and buyer LLCs share the "81 Stockholm" stem, suggesting an internal-restructuring or refinance event rather than a market sale.
- 911 Broadway → Mazel Broadway LLC ($3.53M, March 19). An eight-unit D7 elevator-apartment building acquired from DG 911 Broadway LLC.
- 82 Wyckoff Avenue → K2Y Holdings LLC ($2.87M, January 30). A two-unit K2 mixed-use building (commercial + residential) — the asset-class shape distinct from the dominant residential-only tier.
- 180 Noll Street → 180 Noll Str LLC ($2.70M, March 27). A three-unit C0 walkup, again with seller-and-buyer LLC names sharing the property-address stem (180 Noll LLC → 180 Noll Str LLC) — another internal-restructuring signature.
What the asset-class mix shows
Q1 Bushwick activity was dominated by small-format multifamily product. B2 (two-family converted) led with 28 deeds, followed by C0 (4–6 unit walkup) at 12 and C2 (4–6 unit walkup with store/apt) at 8. R1 condo apartments contributed 7 deals; B1 contributed 7 more. The C-class walkups concentrated in the $1M–$3M band; B2-class deals clustered closer to the $1M median. The handful of S-class mixed-use (S4/S5) and M1 commercial deals are the upper tail.
Two structural patterns recur in the Q1 record. First, seller and buyer LLCs frequently share the property address as a stem — patterns like "81 Stockholm Group LLC → Stockholm St Prop LLC" and "180 Noll LLC → 180 Noll Str LLC" point to internal-restructuring or refinance events rather than market sales. Disambiguating restructurings from arm's-length transfers requires looking past the LLC names to the registered-agent address graph. Second, most Bushwick Q1 buyers are single-purpose LLCs with no obvious institutional-portfolio ties; the heavy-institutional buyer pattern that dominates Manhattan's monthly record doesn't show up at this scale in this district.
What it means
Bushwick's Q1 2026 transaction profile is a residential rental conversion market moving at the small-format end of the price distribution. The dominance of B2, C0, and C2 classes — combined with the LLC-restructuring signature on several of the largest deals — suggests turnover among existing operators of small NYC walkups rather than aggressive new institutional entry. The notable exception is the USPS acquisition of 1369 Broadway, which is a government-driven outcome rather than a market signal.
